Half a Mild and flat caps.

Continuing on the theme of forgotten Pub's.  I found this picture of The Red Lion. Rochester.  This wonderful looking pub was on the right at the bottom of Star Hill. It stood on both Corporation Street and the High St.



What I wouldnt give to be able to walk through those doors at the time this picture was taken. The smell of Cigarette and pipe smoke thick in the air. The knock, knock sound of dominoes on wooden tables. The hum of conversation and the clink of glasses.


The following photo's are of pubs long gone now.








































Old Iron Ship. Gillingham High Street. Demolished to widen the road. This old pub was were the Noodle house is now.































The Coach Makers Arms. Chatham. All these building were torn down and the Tesco's building is there now.
